Wait, you volunteered right? Did you ask for money first and they said no?

Mr Wizard says - fulfill your obligations, only then can you expect others to fulfill their obligations.
Go calmly talk with the business office where you are waiting for payment and ask for the boss. Let him/her know your issues calmly. Its the professional way to go, I know it sucks BUT a burnt bridge can burn again and again.

Tuck a gun into the waistband of your denims and they'll take you a lot more seriously.

Tough call, as was mentioned before you'd be burning a bridge, but after being self-employed for 8 years I can certainly empathize with you. Not knowing when you're going to get paid is extremely agonizing.

Burned bridges are hard to use in the future.
I'm not thrilled that one of my clients called an hour ago, to tell me a project I had until NEXT friday to do, was really needing to be done by tomorrow. I haven't seen my kids today, have a meeting in 45 minutes.....but I'll come back, work until late, get up early and do my best to make their new deadline......because sometimes you have to be flexible in business. I am thrilled that their project is hourly.... Don't blow them off....honor YOUR committment, and ask them about it, and you'll probably be ahead in the long run. They're probably only paying people who dress for the P&L district.... |

To be honest, 11 days doesn't seem like long to wait. Their business may take some time to process invoices, and your DJ buddy somehow negotiated getting in front of the line. Maybe next time you can negotiate that, but I wouldn't get huffy over 11 days.
